AGlTAIloN ABOUT PUBLIC DEBT.

There is considerable agitation in
the States over the proposed distri-
button of the surplus funds in the
Treasury, among the States, in pre-
ference to reducing the useless tax
alton that produces it. Some time
ago, when q similar proposition was
made, Daniel Webster, said:
The income from customs must
be reduced. 1t must be reduced
even at the hazard of injury to some
branches of manufacturing industry,
because this, in my opinion, would
be less evil than that extraordinary
and dangerous state of things, in
which the United States should be
found laying and collecting taxes,
for the gpose of distributing them,

TIE SWEATING SICKNESS IN FRANCE.

The medical world is becoming
alive to a sharp epidemic of sweat
ING sickness which has burst out
sporadically in many parts of France.
This disease has always existed in a
mild form, and is ordinarily re-
garded as mere summer heat rash
of the military kind, but this year it
is accompanied with violent perspir-
alton of most weakening kind,
and a pimply eruption covering the
whole body, which has in some cases
q blistered appearance. The Black
Prince died of the sweating sick
ness, which used 10 be scourge in
the time of the Edwards and the
Henries, when the English armies
were in occupation of part of
France. 1t is announced officially
from Bourges that, although the
sweating sickness is rapidly spread
ing in that town and its neighbor-
hood, the mortality attendant upon
it is rather on the decline.

Convention, GOO strong, arrived this
afternoon with band and banners.
They marched to the hotel where
Sherman is quartered, and were re-

impromptu speech, in which he said
that everything was settled. The
Republicans would be this fall united
and victorious. Every vote in this
State, he said, is for the renomina.
ton of Foraker for Governor of
Ohio. Sherman further said that he
believed the meetings to be held to-
day and tomorrow will be the begin
ming of good time, when the, Re-
publican party will be restored in
